Hi Greg, many thanks for looking at 'Rock Art'. It was taken at Hunstanton, a small Norfolk East coast town in the UK. It has these wonderful stratified cliffs of red limestone and white chalk. They are constantly crumbling and cracking. There is more interesting info on Hunstanton in the online encyclopedia 'Wikipedia'. In contrast, it has lovely sand dunes, and the sea goes out a long way at low tide, so you can walk right out on the beach. I'll be posting a full view of the cliffs soon. Thanks for your interest...Jacquie

Hi Greg! And thanks for the lovely comments on my "red dinghy" picture. I will post a 'redux' pic this evening with the sky cropped out... let me know if it seems improved to you. And yes, you have seen that boat before in a close-up I posted in June. :-)))

Hi Greg :-) Nice to hear from you. I think we might be kindred spirits. You're not so far either. I was in Lynchburg not so long ago on a business trip. :-) Thanks for your comments on "Prague Castle" :-)

I must disagree with Russ and Jacquie, because there is virtually no detail at all in the petals of the water lily -- they've been "blown out" by the overexposure.

@ Greg
Hoi, Greg!. Thanks for your honest opinion, and comment on
'Prince on flower'!
I fully agree with you,there are no detail at all in the petals of the water lily, except a few petals on the bottum of the flower!
But mabey you know, also, it is very hard because of the
reflectting of sunlight on a white surface !

.......This is one of those photos where one should simply say, "Perhaps I'll have better luck next time, and THEN I'll post it to Caedes.".......

@
Well I think this is not very nice of you to say, to me, as well
to all the other caedes members!
If we all do so, I think that a score of 99,9% of all the uploads to caedes, can be canceled!
If everybody upload perfect images,a permanent gallery is not neccecary!
I like to learn, and I like to learn from you, and other members
how to improve my uploads!
No hard feelings!

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

Hi Greg, thanks for daring to enter 'ye who dare'. Lauceseton Castle in Cornwall is a great place to visit. This is just what's left of the gatehouse. The castle holds a lot of atmosphere and memories in its walls. I had a little play in Picasa2 and PS5 to add the extra touches. Your comments are appreciated....Jacquie

Hi Greg, thank you for your constructive feedback on my twos last images (Basle Cathedral 2 and Cloister)! It is always helpful to get some suggestions.
The tourist in Basles Cathedral 2 sisn't bother me much, he was much better than the one who walked straight through one of my images... But then I suppose, I am on some other people's shots too.
You are right about the thing in the middle of the grass in "Cloister" - it's a dove and once you look at it it keeps drawing the attention. I don't know why I have overlooked it before, it would have been easy to clone out. As to the blurry borders - I am experimenting with borders right now, so all of my Basle images have one. Since those are my first serious attempts at borders, I'm grateful for all opinions!
Well, thanks again for your comments, please keep up giving such feedbacks to the people!

I'm just repeating what I wrote in response on "Sun Warrior" to you, so you can personally read it:

Gjwahl, I understand that caedes isn't for family snapshots, that's why I have a photobucket. However, my sister is a subject for my artistic expression. I go through many posses, clothing, make-up, and more to get different looks and images that my creative juices have thought of. I have one more photo I'd like to post of her, and this one I believe is much more creative. Maybe you can take a look at it when I post it tomorrow and see if it's creative enough? Thank you for your concern and I'll remember to leave my family photos on photobucket.

Thanks a lot for your nice words about The way of the monk. I prepeard that shot a couple of days ago, but than I was not sure. So yesterday I was to tired for prepearing anything, so I took it ... now I am surprised about the reaction of many, most of all of you. I did not notice, that you look at my work, but it seams you did ... I am that happy, that now one of my images go a reaction of you!!! I hope, you understand me.

G'day Greg,
Thanks for you generous comment about the Fighting For Life photo. I was (still am) in two minds about how to crop/compose that shot, I didn't want the centre of the ripples to be centre of the photo but I couldn't move it far from there without losing the strong shadows on the left, which really added to the whole image. When taking the photo I was so focussed on the ripples I tended to forget about later compositionally issues. lol. I just put the ripples in the centre and tried to get them sharply focussed. That lack of foresight left me with few choices in processing it later. Put that one down to experience. :)
Peace,
Mikel.

Hi Greg, many thanks for your comments on my "Colours of Autumn" picture, and you are right, the exposure is probably a bit too much in places. I'm glad you liked the picture though, and any comments are always appreciated.

Thanks a lot for your comment about Gallenstein Castle. First I did not feel that good, but than I thought, it means something, when you come by and give me a hint how to improve. For me it means, you believe, that my work is worth that. So thanks for coming by and give me that hint. I will try next time.

Thanks for commenting on Lake McKenzie, really appreciate the positive thoughts, got some great photo's from my trip and this is up there with the best! It's a freshwater lake so it's weird stepping on white sand to then be able to drink what you're swimming in!

Greg, thank you for your helpful comments on my Art Museum photo. I did the cropping that you suggested and uploaded a new version of the same scene. I personally like the alterations you prescribed and am glad for the feedback!

Hi Gregg and thank you so much for viewing and commenting on "17 miles of uninhabited beauty". I did use a slight noise reduction on this but the sand was so smooth when walking it would make a dreadful noise almost like that of fingernails on a chalkboard. Thanks again for stopping by- Eileen

Hi Greg, thank you so much for your wonderful comment on my photo "American Bald Eagle" I am very proud of this one, and I am blessed to have found a place to get good close ups of these Eagles. Glad you thought it was AWESOME. Thank you.

Hello Greg! I've been unable to spend the amount of time on caedes like I want too and I'm way behind on my comments. Thank you for your recent comments on images in my Gallery. I appreciate your support.
Russ

Hi there Greg ! Thanks for dropping by Bathyspere & commenting so nicely. I really appreciate you taking the time & I'm so glad you liked it ! And personally I think you're right .... abstracts don't do well in the booth. Which is really a shame.
